Balancing & Cultivating Your Songwriting Soul
A half-day seminar on creative well-being for career dreaming songwriters, hosted by 5 expert coaches, songwriters, and artists.
As songwriters, we are always working on improving our craft.
But what about our creative spirit?
So often we hear about the importance of practicing our craft.
And while craft is important, we are less encouraged to spend time cultivating a healthy creative life.
Working on our craft alone, unfortunately, doesn't keep us from feeling:
You can visualize your future self being happy and successful in a career of joyful music-making, but right now, you have no idea how that's achievable.
When you think of your future, you can totally see yourself walking out on stage.
The crowd is there to hear your music.
You can picture yourself fully confident in your artistry.
But how the heck do you get there when these days all you want to do is crawl right back in bed and binge-watch The Bachelor?
Despite all of this, here's what you still know:
Join us for this half-day seminar where we'll share our best strategies on creative well-being from years of working in music and living as creatives.
In this free workshop you will learn how to lean into your individuality, shake up your patterns, find new inspiration, boost your creativity, let go of the mindsets that hold you back, and gain the confidence to share your music with the world.
